Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Center Bar

Goes Full Circle

Even by the standards of Las Vegas nightspots, the Center Bar at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has been a celebrity magnet. Perched under a domed ceiling in the middle of the hotel’s 30,000-square-foot casino, it has long been the place to see and be seen. However, even icons need updating to remain fresh and vibrant, which is why Hard Rock Hotel had a “Final Call” party for its famous bar, and promised to reopen the 20-year-old landmark with a new design that would make its future as glittering as its past. This goal was accomplished in stunning fashion, thanks to a massive and dazzling abstract design by LD Robert Athey of All Things Integrated that drew on the pixel mapping capabilities of 300 ÉPIX Strip 2.0 LED linear fixtures from CHAUVET Professional.

Parlor Live

Seattle’s Comedy Club

Parlor Live defies easy categorization by including a sports bar, lounge/restaurant and meeting room along with the 200-seat club in its two-story facility. This diverse mix of venues is pulled together in a visually harmonious design created in part through the inspired use of Ilumipod LΩGIC Tri-1 and Ilumipod LΩGIC Tri-4 LED fixtures from Iluminarc. Lighting Designer, Stephen Weeks of Morgan Sound and Audiovisual illuminated the main area of the sports bar with 36 Ilumipod LΩGIC Tri-1 RGB fixtures each powered by one 3-watt 1,050 mA tri-color (RGB) LED, and 27 Ilumipod LΩGIC Tri-4 circular fixtures each with four 3-watt 1,050 mA tri-color (RGB) LEDs. Run off a Hog 4 controller, these fixtures give the main area of the bar a distinctive look that stands out while also harmonizing with the clean look of the comedy club.

Viva Toro

Changing Moods

Lighting Designer, Tirso Pelaez of Tirso Lighting makes use of 12 Iluminarc Ilumipod 7 IP LED washes to create a warm and welcoming feeling at Viva Toro’s in Brooklyn, New York. “A big reason why I love these lights is the color” said Pelaez. “The colors are very beautiful, and we can change moods very dramatically by changing the colors produced by the Iluminarcs. We use the lights to create an elegant and relaxing ambience during the early hours when people are having dinner, then we’ll open things up during the party hours.” Featuring seven 1W RGBW LEDs and an 18° lens, the ILUMINARC Ilumipod 7 IP uses 1, 3, 4, or 7 channels of DMX control or remote addressing via the Ilumicode Addresser.

Seattle’s Comedy Club

Parlor Live is cultivating up-and-coming regional comics by giving them the chance to perform on a spacious stage illuminated by a collection of Ovation and COLORado fixtures from CHAUVET Professional. As stage lighting, the four Ovation F-165WW LED Fresnels and eight COLORado 2-Quad Zoom Tour par-style fixtures in the Parlor Live rig offer advantages that go beyond energy efficiency, according to Lighting Designer, Stephen Weeks of Morgan Sound and Audiovisual. “Being LEDs, these fixtures are much cooler than incandescent lighting is on stage, which the comedians appreciate,” he said. “We also get a flat even field from the Ovations and a color temperature that works well for video production.”

Boston Pizza

Get’s a Modern Look

A Boston Pizza franchise owner broke away from the relaxed, family-style setting and created the first modernized restaurant in the chain. To set this location apart, a design team installed nearly 60 TVs, more than 50 speakers and 276 Iluminarc interior lighting solutions programmed with custom scenes. The team used a combination of Ilumipod Logic 6, Ilumipod Logic 12 and Ilumipod Logic Tri-4 interior lighting solutions to provide variable and controllable lighting in the dining areas. To create grand focal points, the team constructed light boxes and transformed them into glowing panels using a combination of Ilumiline Logic 12 and Ilumiline Logic 24 linear wash lights. The aesthetically pleasing light boxes project ambient lighting from the ceiling and walls on the first and second floors. To accentuate the bar area, all three types of Ilumiline fixtures mounted below and behind the bar create a subtle glow.
